Revision as of 22:32, 3 October 2007
Greysleeve Streambank was a wizard, well known in parts of Elanthia (particularly Icemule Trace, Pinefar, and Ta'Illistim). A particularly strong half-elf with an addiction to grey clothing (including his trademark dusty grey linen-covered shield with a painting of his father as the blazon, as well as silver-embroidered dusty grey leather armor), he was a bit unusual in his hunting tactics. His unusual preference was for a haste/longsword combination, in contrast to other battle mages who prefer two-handed weapons. He also performed a limited amount of enchanting, and was a member of House Brigatta. He also enjoyed assisting other adventurers, particularly the young and empaths and clerics.
Behind the Scenes
The player of Greysleeve has played Gemstone on and off since late 1996, when he was introduced to it by his college roommate (the player of the former Enfar Broheel, a similar battle mage, but one using blunt weapons). The surname Streambank is a play on the name of the city he lived in at the time, Riverside, California (which is located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles). The name has been retained, although the player moved away in summer of 2000.
At present, Greysleeve is level 60 and based in Ta'Illistim hunting in the Black Forest area. An earlier biography, going in depth into the character's backstory, is (or was) available at the House Brigatta site. The shield and leathers mentioned above are both altered and self enchanted (the shield to 9x and the leathers to 6x, both before the enchant rules were changed).
When Greysleeve was between approximately levels 22 and 55, he was based in the Icemule and Pinefar region, where he often socialized with the clerics and empaths at the temple and at TC, and occasionally frequented the picking well.
He still possesses (in his locker) a fluffy grey toy demon, which was given to him by Enfar as a gift upon earning his title. He has a small collection of RP trinkets such as this; his favorite is a silver kaleidoscope.
He is also the player of three other characters, all of whom address Greysleeve as their father - Slatesleeve, a mid-twenties cleric; Kaithairenne, a late teens empath, and Triskane, a mid-teens warrior, all based in Icemule Trace.
The player is currently investigating the operations of player-owned shops with an aim to find an outlet for surplus equipment and enchanted items. (Anyone willing to assist in this is welcome to contact via email at greycroissant@play.net.)
